    Would be nice if someone could upload a Vista x64 inf :nerd:

    /edit1 Oh, I see OP moded one xD


    /edit2


    Okey tried the driver with Age of Conan and World In Conflict.

    Rock solid with conan during SLI, no crashes, no glitches.

    Gained 2 fps in World in Conflict from 177.40 driver, all settings maxed, ( x16 csaa ), 1680x1050, dx10.

    Also with 177.41 digital vibrance works/sticks from when you enable it during single GPU and then switch/activate SLI.

    - Keeper for now, best driver for me since 169.44 :)

    /edit3

    After two days of testing this driver I found one problem with it, it randomly stops responding ( I'm using the OP's mod inf now, might be that I have no clue.

    It isn't that frequent, happend 3 times in two days, and twice today.

    Grid & Dirt run smooth. And if you use the inf, you will propably need the setup.ini file as well? I tried with just the modded inf and it didnt work for me, but with both setup.ini and nvdisp.inf the installation worked great!


    Thats why Vista is so great, it doesnt break after driver installations/uninstallations or the same with software. Its a huge achilles heel for XP. Almost one of the biggest reasons Ill propably never use XP again.

    Thanks for the upload. 177.40's didnt really work good for me. Had a stuttering problem in GRID and GoW.

    I'm just done with running a few tests on Vista x64, SP1:

    Forceware 175.19: P8220 (CPU: 7282, GPU: 8589)
    Forceware 175.51: P7750 (CPU: 7158, GPU: 7970)
    Forceware 177.40: P7443 (CPU: 7118, GPU: 7558)
    Forceware 177.41: P8727 (CPU: 7183, GPU: 9400)

    So far these drivers seem to be the best I ever had on my PC. (Running 8800GT SLI)

    Grid, Crysis run smooth. Didn't check fps. I don't care, as long as everything works smoothly on high settings. ;)

    p.s.: Auto fan settings are working with EVGA's Precision Tool 1.1.1, in case somebody wants to know. ;)

    p.p.s.: Also no PhysX drivers installed!

    COD4
    177.40 Max FPS 125fps >>>>>>> 177.41 Max FPS 132fps

    Crysis
    177.40 Max FPS 36.2fps >>>>>>> 177.41 Max FPS 34.6fps (min is 3fps higher than .40's)

    Gears of War
    177.40 60fps Very unstable, stuttering >>>>>>>>>> 177.41 silky smooth 60fps.

    GRID
    177.40 Max FPS 64FPS stuttering >>>>>>>>>> 177.41 Max FPS 63fps siky smooth.


    Also Ive noticed that in 177.41 when I set the image quality to "High Performance" in GRID the cars look better than in "Quality" mode... which is a little strange.
